Bruising is normal, and it will resolve. There is no need for stockings in the shower.

It's hard to answer your first question. Another week or two should answer the question for you. There is no reason to continue compression hose.

At 7 days, it is not unusual to have some bruising. I have my patients massage with bruising/healing cream such as Dermaka and wear the hose during the day for at least 7 days. Bruising may appear to be increasing, but they actually "move" either lower down with gravity or to the surface. You have had a little more "intervention" to seal above and below an area, so you may have a little more.

What you describe are all normal occurrences following laser or RF closure procedures. The bruising occurs several days later as the blood comes to the surface. This will resolve over the next several days. You can shower daily and, yes, remove the stockings to shower.

I occasionally have pain in my hands. I noticed one vein in particular is dark purple and appears to be purple to other people. But one vein next to it looks fine. I'm kinda worried but nor sure I should be. Do I have anything to worry about?

It appears I have a varicose vein on my lip. About a week after I sunburned my lips, I noticed the spot was lighter than it had been in years and is hardly protruding at all. I was just wondering if laser therapy would help.
